Which air pump for unloading tankers?

I got lucky and bought a truck with a GD compressor and Blackmere pump already on it (run by a drum hydra pack). Owner had all manuals, hoses, ppe; everything. All parts fairly new. He was retiring.

thanks for the help guys

 

Yeah I was looking for big blowers and they showed a small one on their site. At least I think it was for liquids, I didn't pay much attention as I was looking for a bulk blower. Now that you ask.. Let me hunt around on their site and see if I can find it.

 

Compressors and Accessories For Liquid Bulk Transfer




Liquid bulk haulers often choose to use compressors to unload their cargo. When unloading certain corrosive or abrasive liquids, it’s more practical to use a compressor to pressurize the tank and force the liquid out the tank discharge rather than expose the pump to these materials. In other applications the compressor puts positive air pressure into the tank to push the liquid to the pump. Whatever your needs may be to unload liquid bulk cargo, D&W can help.


Product Offering




American Eagle
These piston compressors were marketed under the E.L. Smith/P.K. Lindsay name until acquired by American Eagle in February 2002. Popular models for truck transport are the V230, V360 and V480. An important feature these units offer is a crankcase breather that vents to the atmosphere and does not contaminate the air stream. Shaft or hydraulically driven, we offer bare compressors or time saving quick mount kits that are easy to install on your truck.




Gardner Denver Drum
Oil-free rotary vane compressors providing up to 75 CFM in a compact unit. Liquid haulers value its fast unloading, oil free air and excellent reliability. Available in hydraulic or belt drive.



D&W Tank Truck

Gauges
Make D&W your source for compressors built for the tank truck market.

 

I finally found it in above posting.. For the liquid compressors by garner denver.. The distributor that I pulled up is D and W out of New York.. But I'm sure that if they have it other dealers should.. May as well get one close to home.

 

Now I remember, it used to be marketed under the DRUM name in the late 80's. a few fleetsa w/ the relatively new drum hydraulic pack used them.

 

Garner denver owns drum .. And a few other blower/ compressor companies. I knew a guy that had one about 15 years ago.. Never said anything bad about it. I always just used my truck air.. That worked ok.

 

Same here Matlack had double compressors. Supplied enough CFM that you could have a blown diaphram on the trailer and could still get the brakes to release...
